Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D

Completely new to this, looking for some help to 3D model a pretty simple, cylindrical movie prophttp://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=56127&th=11382#msg_56127
<![CDATA[Hey everyone,<br />
<br />
I am new here. I make movie props in my spare time, and was looking into a certain lightsaber from the Star Wars saga in the 1970s and 80s.<br />
This prop was milled on a lathe, and cast in solid aluminum. I don't have access to either of these, so I'm looking to shapeways - <br />
I can't imagine this could be complicated, all I have however are blueprints - diagrams with measurements. I have NO idea how to work a 3D modeling program, so I have nothing to submit for a price quote. Any help!?<br />

The part in the middle of the body is actually a Graflex Press Camera flash clamp - so that section would just be a couple mm smaller diameter (for the clamp to sit flush with the body.<br />

with one of these attached (I have one, so All I'm looking for is the body)<br />

Thank you, Thank you!<br />
